The Covid-19 pandemic posed new issues about vaccination and contagious diseases that had not been the focus of public policy debate in the United States since the tuberculosis pandemic of the late 19th century and the early 20th century. Using a national address-based probability sample of American adults in 2020 and a structural equation model, this analysis seeks to understand the role of education, age, gender, race, education, partisanship, religious fundamentalism, biological literacy, and understanding of the coronavirus to predict individual intention concerning taking the Covid-19 vaccine. Given the substantial changes in the United States since the tuberculosis pandemic, it is important to understand the factors that drive acceptance and hesitancy about Covid-19 vaccination. We find that education, biological literacy, and understanding of the coronavirus were strong positive predictors of willingness to be vaccinated and religious fundamentalism and conservative partisanship were strong negative predictors of intent to vaccinate. These results should be encouraging to the scientific community.
Covid-19 大流行提出了一些新问题，这些问题是自 19 世纪末和 20 世纪初结核病大流行以来，美国公共政策辩论的焦点。本研究利用 2020 年美国成年人基于地址的全国概率抽样和结构方程模型，旨在了解教育、年龄、性别、种族、教育程度、党派、宗教原教旨主义、生物素养以及对冠状病毒的理解在预测个人接种新冠疫苗意愿方面的作用。鉴于自结核病大流行以来美国发生了重大变化，了解推动人们对新冠疫苗接种的接受和犹豫的因素非常重要。我们发现，教育、生物素养和对冠状病毒的理解是接种意愿的强有力积极预测因素，而宗教原教旨主义和保守党派立场则是接种意愿的强有力消极预测因素。这些结果应该会让科学界感到鼓舞。
